She was absolutely angry. All she wanted was to choke Kerr to death, but since murder was against the law and she had her Jay to think of, she couldn't do anything that impulsive. Yes, impulsiveness was the devil.
"Jay!"
Nicole exclaimed. She checked the time on her wristwatch and was horrified when she realized that she had forgotten to pick up Jay from school.
"How come my mommy has been forgetting me a lot lately? I feel so sad!"
With his schoolbag still on his back, Jay walked towards his mom's office. As he was walking, he caught a glimpse of Kerr and greeted him warmly.
"Hello, Uncle Gu!"
Nicole approached her son and saw Jared standing next to him.
"Mr. Kang, thank you for picking up Jay from school for me today."
Hearing the gratitude in Nicole's voice, Jared couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed. He scratched his head and said,
"Mr. Gu asked me to do it. You can thank him if you want."
He didn't want to be involved anymore, so he immediately shifted Nicole's attention to Kerr and made sure to put in a good word for him.
If it hadn't been for him, she would have never forgotten to pick up her son. Besides, whatever she felt for Kerr the night before was totally gone by now.
"Mommy, you should thank Uncle Gu."
Noticing the look Nicole was giving Kerr, Jay knew that Kerr had made his mommy angry at him once again. He admired Kerr with all his heart, but he was also the only one who could make Nicole that angry.
In all his life, he had never seen his mommy be as angry as Kerr made her.
"I will make sure to thank him."
Nicole glared at Kerr and gritted her teeth. It was as if she was going to skin him alive.
"It's time for dinner. I've asked someone to prepare the food for you."
Kerr didn't care for Nicole's attitude at all, but he knew she must be hungry now given that she hadn't had lunch yet.
"I'm not hungry!"
As a reflex response, Nicole immediately refused Kerr's offer.
But just as she was about to leave with her son, her stomach growled.
"Oh! Mo
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
ant. But now, he finally understood what Jared's vague words meant.
Sure enough, he was surprised.
After a while, they were finally seated in the dining room. Nicole deliberately sat down next to Jay, drawing a distance between him and Kerr.
Almost all of the dishes on the table were Jay's favorite, and Nicole could not help but feel a little worried.
"Mommy, these are all of my favorite dishes. Thank you, Uncle Gu!"
Jay expressed his thanks politely.
Vedder, who was standing beside the table, was even more stunned at Jay's words. He smiled and poured him a glass of juice.
"I didn't expect that he would like the same food as the young master."
His words seemed casual, but they shook Nicole to the core.
She had noticed that Jay and Kerr liked the same food the first time Kerr had dinner with them. She was worried that it would cause Kerr's suspicions. She didn't expect that Jay would look so much like Kerr in many aspects.
"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."
She didn't want Kerr to see the panic on her face, so she stood up and quickly made her escape.
"Miss Ning, this way please."
Vedder immediately led the way for her.
Even though he didn't know what exactly the relationship between Nicole and Kerr was for the time being, Vedder could tell from Kerr's attitude towards Nicole that she was different for him.
